Superhuman

Ariana Rae Krallem was your average 17 year old. She was 5'6", somewhat tan, had beautiful long brown hair, dazzling chocolate brown eyes, and was all over a very beautiful girl with a beautiful heart of gold. She was very insecure though. Her life was pretty normal. Her father was dead, though. She lived with her mother and 12 year old brother Liam. But when their world is turned upside down, and the family's house is destroyed, the Krallem family is forced to flee from their home and live in a fancy 5 star hotel until ready to either rebuild their fire-ruined house or buy a new one. When Ariana finds herself in the wrong room, she comes face to face with two boys from the worlds most popular boy band, One Direction. She flees instantly, her insecurities and fears coming to life. But when she catches the eye of one of the boys, and accidentally leaves her phone behind, will her life be changed forever?

16. Can I Be Your Superhuman?

Ari's POV

As we arrived at the studio, I couldn't help but pull a huge smile on my face. Niall noticed and just rolled his eyes with a playful glare. "Newbie." He retorted, and I scoffed pretending to be disgusted with him. "Excuse me?" "You heard me." He said in a quick reply. We both laughed in a melodic harmony and we got out of the van, quickly being escorted inside by Paul. "We're in the last studio to the left." He informed us and let us find our own way there. Niall nodded and grabbed my wrist, sprinting off and dragging me along. Dang, he was excited. I chuckled as we got down to the studio. Niall opened the door and stepped in, as did I. Four boys in front of us instantly turned and welcome Niall.

"Vas happenin?!" They all said, and I couldn't help but laugh. This, my friends, was the biggest boy band in the world. They all turned to me, noticing me after I laughed. I noted Louis had a huge smirk on his face. Oh boy, that could never be good.

"You must be towel girl!" He screamed and I think I went pale white, I noticed Niall was blushing, his face burning red with color. All of the other boys just laughed it off, and Zayn gave Louis a gentle shove, making his way to me. "Don't bother the girl!" He told Louis before he placed his warm hand in mine, taking it and placing his lips up against my hand. His mysterious eyes stared into mine as he mumbled, "Welcome to the studio." And turned away. Damn, that boy could be a womanizer. His face was ultimately perfect, and the way his voice just drifted into your soul... Niall coughed awkwardly and I could've sworn he gave Zayn a look but I didn't take much note. "Well, lads, shall we get down to business?" The boys nodded and basically ran over each other to get into the booth that actually recorded them. I sat down awkwardly next to the music producers and they generously introduced themselves and went right to work.

"Alright boys, start singin' the new song." One man, who I came to know as Robert, said to them. As soon as the track started playing and their voices collided into one, I was blown away. I knew they were good, but I didn't know they were all this.. amazing. Each boy had a different style of singing, each style obviously one of the most amazing things your ears will ever hear. But when they all came together it was like God had blessed me with the sounds of Heaven. My god, these boys.. They were all so attractive and so talented. It just wasn't fair!

After a few takes of the same lines, I had started to memorize what I could of the song, and I found myself singing along to them as they recorded. I hadn't realized I was singing loud, but when everything but my voice stopped, I couldn't help but blush. I looked at the music producers and they were all staring at me like I had just screamed out profanity everywhere. Niall tapped on the microphone. "Uh, guys, everythin' okay?" The music producers all went back to their jobs and had the boys redo their song as if nothing happened. Was I that bad? "I'm gonna go to the bathroom." I announced so they didn't think I was just running away. "It's 3 doors down on your left." Robert told me, and nodding I made my way out of the studio and into the bathroom.

Niall's POV.

After we finally finished one of our new songs for the album, I made my way out of the recording booth to see if Ariana liked it. When I got out I saw that she wasn't out there. Huh? The music producers told me she went to the bathroom. Oh. Well, now thinking about it, I had to go too. "I have to go pee." I generally stated, not caring who knew. Peeing was a natural thing. Making my way out I felt a force smash against me and knock me off my feet. Only then did I realize I had just ran into Ariana. Whoops. I got up off my feet and helped her up, watching as she fixed her hair. "Sorry, love. Shoulda watched where I was walking." I apologized, looking at my feet nervously. I heard her laugh gently and I couldn't help but look back up. "It's fine, Niall." She said and gave me a reassuring smile.

"Soo, do you like our song?" I asked her, purely curious if she liked it or not. I saw her nod her head very excitedly. "Yes! It's so good. You guys have the voices of angels! I started singing along and I think I was so bad that the music producers stared at me." She giggled, and then I just looked at her. So that's why the music producers had just frozen like an overloaded computer. "You have a beautiful voice, Ariana. I'm not surprised if they're debating to sign you to the company right now!" I said, pulling her in for a big Horan hug. As I pulled away I smiled and dragged her back into the studio.

Ariana's POV

Niall wouldn't be suprised if I got signed? Wait. WHAT. Just. Wow. As he brought me back in the studio I couldn't help but smile so openly. A compliment like that meant the world to me. The boys worked on new songs some more but then they all took a break. Louis declared his desire to go to the bathroom quite loudly so they all just went off to take a few minutes of rest. Most boys went to get food or drinks or the bathroom, but Niall stayed behind with me and we just talked. "Hey, I wanna show you something." He said, and confused I cocked an eyebrow suspiciously. "Just follow me!" He said before taking my hand in his and dragging me down the hallway a little bit until we entered another recording studio, which was a little bit bigger than the one they were in. Niall played around on the switchboard and went into the booth, grabbing a guitar from a rack of a few guitars.

Before I knew it, Niall turned on his microphone and started strumming on the guitar. My eyes widened. He was so talented it killed me. He opened his mouth and started to sing to me a song I actually recognized. "Save You Tonight" by One Direction. I smiled and blushed as he looked through the glass window at me, singing his little Irish heart out. "I can't be no superman, but for you I'll be superhuman!" He sang my favorite line from the song so perfectly.

As Niall finished the song he gently placed the guitar down against the wall and looked at me, a glint of nervousness overdosed in his eyes. He reached back his hand to rub at his neck. "Well, did you like it?" Without thinking much, I wrapped Niall in a tight hug. I rested my chin on his chest which enabled me to look up at him. "I loved it. The originial was amazing, but you made it even better! But I have a question." I could almost feel him tense up under my grip and he just looked down at me in a confused state. "What infact IS a superhuman? I mean I know what superman is but what is the difference?" I giggled a little as I felt Niall relax.

"Well... It's different for everyone." He answered slowly. "To me I feel a superhuman is someone who is a regular guy, but will do anything in his power to make you happy. Someone who will go through Hell and back just to see you smile, to make sure you are safe and sound. Someone who loves you with all their heart." His answer had blown me away. I had never thought of it like that. "That's.. so.. sweet." I mumbled outwards to nothing, just speaking my mind. He smiled and gently rubbed my back with his hand. "Now can I ask you a question?" Niall asked and I nodded. "Shoot." I said lightly, looking up at him as my heart seemed to beat like a drum.

"I.. I know we haven't known each other long, but Ariana I honestly really like you." He said, which made my heart stop instantly. "And.. well, I was wondering, Ariana, can I be your superhuman?" The way he said that made my knees go weak. "What." I said by accident, unable to process in my mind what the hell Niall had just said to me. I noticed he grew nervous and I welled up with regret. Still in a hug I clung to Niall a little tighter as I felt myself feeling sick. Not because I was disgusted by Niall's question, but in fact full with a shitload of surprise that a celebrity such as Niall would even like me in the least bit. "Ariana, will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"
